Judge Billings rendered very
elaborate opinion in favor of the issue
of the injunction. BY this injunction
the criminal jurisdiction of the State
was palsied and has remained so ever
since, Notwithstanding the penal law
still stands on the statute book.
The power of United States Court

A WAsHIEGToE special of the 3rd
inst. 10 the New York Herald, says:
There are rumors afioat of a DISPOSE
ton among Gen. Logan's friends to
impute the cause Of his very unex-
pected death to some mistake of the
doctors. The blunt statement is made
that Gen. Logan was killed by the adj
ministration Of aconite or morphine,
or both. Color is given TO this belief
from a statement which Gen. Logan
made TO friend who called upon him
few days prior TO his death. This
gentleman entered the room while DR..
Baxter and Gen. Logan were engaged
in a discussion regarding the use of
aconIte as one of the remedies IN his
Case. Gen. Logan protested strongly
against this remedy. After the doc
tor left the room Gen. Logan said:
~ can't trust these doctors. Last
night they left lot Of stuff that ]
would not take and have thrown
away Some Of Gen. LogaiI's friends
are outspoken in their belief that the
General need not have died, and there
is promise Of dispute.

Under the above caption tho Iber-
willie Democrat gives ihe following,
which, in our opinion, is in keeping
with the general wants Of the South
ern people, ms it embraces facts that
are incontroyertible, and so puts the
case that it must, per force, become
acceptable as the real wants Of the
South in an educational view:
"The Southern people plead that
they are doing as much as they can,
and in many cases this is true.
Slavery impoverished them the war
Impoverished them. Many Southern
States are doing uobly BY both white
and black; not one Of them shows
itself equal 10 the work of getting rid
of the black cloud Of illiteracy which
hangs over its people. Every prom
inent educator pleads for help from
the nation IN this great work. The
nation has the money to do it with,
has no pressing need Of it, and should
come TO the help Of every State in
which illiteracy exists extensively.
These Southern States have claim
on help from the non slave holding
States, as they made the freedmen
citizens in spite of the opposition of
their former masters, and without
doing anything to ct them for citizen
ship. Workingmen North and South,
and many of the white societies, and
the State conventions of Trades
Union call for national aid for the
Southern States TO help educate the
large population of freedmen thrown
upon the South"

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as well as relieving the burden Of home
manufactures. Especially is this the
case with GREEN'S august F2o,Oer and
Boschee'S German Syrup, as the reduc-
ton OF thirty-Bix cents per dozen, has
been added to Increase the size OF the
bottles containing these remedies, there
by giving one-ffth more medicine in
the rs cent size. The A@gust Ftoeoer
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
and The German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest
sale of any medicines in the world.
The advantage Of increased size Of the

and village IN civilized countries. Sam
